This paper presents an adaptive camouflage system in visible band, featuring a dominant color feature-matching algorithm and pulse width modulation (PWM)-based display driving circuit. The control system consists of three parts, namely, the background sensing part, the central processing part, and the physical driving waveform generation part. Images of the local environment are sampled by the background sensing part, and then the dominant color feature matching algorithm is conducted to select a proper camouflage image that matches the local environment. Consequently, the cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) display using amplitude adjustable AC voltage, which is modulated by the physical driving waveform generation unit. The experimental results show that the matching degree of the proposed algorithm was 2.47 times that of the conventional hue (H), saturation (S), and value (V) histogram camouflage evaluation method, while the output peak wavelength of the reflective band can be adjusted from 604 to 544 nm according to the ambient color profile.

For the reason that dominant colors can characterize color information of image region and can represent the image using fewer dimensions, it is one of the widely used color features in image retrieval. We extract the dominant color feature in HSV color space, and combine it with color distribution information. In this paper, a new similarity measurement algorithm based on block distance is proposed for dominant color matching. Our proposed algorithm not only takes the distance between dominant colors into account, but also the difference of the percentage of dominant colors. The average precision of our algorithm improves about 5% and about 14% respectively compared with block distance and Euclidean distance. Although the average precision of our algorithm is almost equal to quadratic form distance, the computation cost of our algorithm is obviously less than it.

A feature matching algorithm based on wavelet transform and SIFT is proposed in this paper, Firstly, Biorthogonal wavelet transforms algorithm is used for medical image to delaminating, and restoration the processed image. Then the SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) applied in this paper to abstracting key point. Experimental results show that our algorithm compares favorably in high-compressive ratio, the rapid matching speed and low storage of the image, especially for the tilt and rotation conditions.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a monocular visual measurement system for autonomous aerial refueling (AAR) for unmanned aerial vehicle, which can process images from an infrared camera to estimate the pose of the drogue in the tanker with high accuracy and real-time performance.Design/methodology/approachMethods and techniques for marker detection, feature matching and pose estimation have been designed and implemented in the visual measurement system.FindingsThe simple blob detection (SBD) method is adopted, which outperforms the Laplacian of Gaussian method. And a novel noise-elimination algorithm is proposed for excluding the noise points. Besides, a novel feature matching algorithm based on perspective transformation is proposed. Comparative experimental results indicated the rapidity and effectiveness of the proposed methods.Practical implicationsThe visual measurement system developed in this paper can be applied to estimate the pose of the drogue with a fast speed and high accuracy and it is a feasible measurement strategy which will considerably increase the autonomy and reliability for AAR.Originality/valueThe SBD method is used to detect the features and a novel noise-elimination algorithm is proposed. Besides, a novel feature matching algorithm based on perspective transformation is proposed which is robust and accurate.
